    The English bourgeoisie dont care the maintain the union anymore it seems

    Capital will quite happily dispense of nationalism if it no longer serves its interests.

      Yes I think that's pretty much it.

      English bourgeoisie is almost exclusively based in London and made up of financiers whose money is not connected to NI, Wales or Scotland anymore. The money is almost entirely in weapons and international banking loans, I assume a lot of that is tied up in Africa and the Middle East.

        Agreed, but more than that this a fire sale, a national asset stripping project that's been 30 years in the making and they finally have all the shocks they want (Brexit, COVID, unrest) to really get stuck in.

        From the shell companies given billions in public money with no staff or experience, to the remaking of the economy through COVID restrictions targeted to eliminate competition for big donors, to the punitive micro-regional lockdowns seemingly based upon property development, this is wealth consolidation pure and simple. Just on a scale we've never seen before in our own borders. The vultures coming home to roost.
